Oh! Just don't get me started over the lack of a proper tree view in Mac Finder! I just hate that column view and this "up-up-up-the-file-hierarchy-change-to-next-sibling-and-down-down-down-again"-navigation style which is enforced upon me my the Finder (and the lack of a proper - sic! - tree view).

But Lion actually "invented" the "resize-the-window-on-any-edge", and I think it was Mountain Lion who "invented" the "rename a file in a file dialog" feature. So I am not yet giving up hope yet ;)

Yeah right, different users, different needs ;) Or ever tried to move a file with drag'n'drop from one subfolder into another on another branch - within the *same* Finder instance? I tell you, that drives you *crazy* without a tree view - there! again! - on the left side or so... (Not to mention that the Finder *still* lacks a "File Cut" (CMD + X) operation, even though the menu entry is there (greyed out), probably since OS X 10.0)

So don't cut down that File Forest ;)

Cheers,
